    Dear All,

    Today's update concerns the Campaign AI. The next patch naturally contains fixes and upgrades to the AI but there will be further work to do. Naval invasions will be slightly more frequent for the new patch and we will continue to make them more likely. The AI campaign diplomacy is also being examined, in order to make it better 'fit' with the recent changes to the game's economical model and relative values.
    The 'counter offer' system is also being relaxed, meaning it will be more likely the AI will return an offer with amended terms as opposed to simply refusing.

    We're also moving some of the hard coded AI values for diplomacy into the data space to allow them to be modified by modders.

    Kind regards,
    Kieran
    I take this as more good news…

    Now if they would just readjust the economy and upkeep to some where about half way in between then and now…wow!

    I'm wondering when this next mythical patch will be available.

    I feel CA will finalize ETW at just about the time when most of the fan base will be utterly bored with the game already so there will be just the select few left who will enjoy the fixes.

    I think that is a very astute comment Slaists.

    They should be mindful of that.

    The sour expressions probably result from having to wear those hats into combat.

    More interested in the AI improvements, increased stability and AI turn optimizations, personally. Don't much care about the eye candy unless it gives real, playable variety to the unit roster.

    I have the SF editions also. I see the units but you know they jacked up the upkeep and in some cases also the recruitment cost for them soooooooooo high that it is stupid to build them!

    It sort of defeats the purpose of having them.

    The ships are out of the question. The other units are so few and scattered that you don’t concentrate on them.

    I built Roger’s Rangers early in my last GB Campaign and it even ended up in India where it did much better than in the other theaters.

    But really the extra costs and tight money keep me from building them usually. It is rather spoiled now.

    The new units may be okay but if they are as over priced as the SF units they won’t see much play from me.

    I just want to see them sort out the AI issues and get things working smoothly. Then we can work on having them readjust pricing yet again…

    So they are in the game FK?

    I didn't see the Victory in my first GB campaign. I was think I missed something.
